A recent top-secret web project of mine went live this morning. I won’t link to it directly, but if you’re interested in locally grown natural produce, send me an email and I’ll share the link. If you’re in the Athens area, you can use it right away. If you’re not in the area, you can still look, but you won’t find it all that useful. If we started shipping our produce, it wouldn’t be “locally grown”.
